Global Labor Market
Conference
2nd Edition Fact Sheet
When & Where
29 – 30 January 2025
KAICC, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Introduction
The primary platform uniting all labor market
stakeholders with the specific focus on inspiring
innovative global solutions to labor market
challenges returns to further build on the
momentum launched in December 2023. As rapid
global changes continue to impact the labor
market, policymakers, employee representatives,
business leaders, researchers and youth will come
together to pursue solutions and advances that will
effectively create a more balanced and beneficial
landscape for all.
From skills mismatches leading to youth unemployment, to technology advances
requiring re-skilling and upskilling, keeping ageing workforces employable or the
emergence of green jobs, we will hear from sector experts and thought leaders how
to navigate multiple changes and generate prosperity.
Beyond a conference, GLMC is becoming the international, independent platform
of reference for the global labor market community.
Our Vision
To advance empowering and innovative labor markets that attract top talent,
foster dynamism, and serve as global benchmarks for excellence.
Our Mission
To spearhead a global dialogue on future labor matters, providing a unique
platform of exchange, fostering collaboration, and delivering positive impact on
labor practices worldwide.
Our Goal
To establish GLMC as the premier platform and independent think tank dedicated
to the future of labor markets - and a comprehensive global labor market
ecosystem.
What’s New?
Bespoke research project feeding the conference agenda and overall
01 mission of GLMC.
02 Amplified voice of youth representatives at and beyond the conference.
03 Addressing and engaging new labor cohorts.
04 Deeper and broader contributions of IOs.
Decidedly moving from conference to continued action, transforming
05 GLMC into a global instigator of progress.
What to Expect

a fairer, more prosperous future for all labor market stakeholders. Integrating the
needs and views of all stakeholders across all markets, each year we gather to
further boost efforts and continue to pave the way forward, gathering more
thought leaders and momentum.

meeting will set the tone and give gravitas to GLMC 2025 and beyond offering a
strong message of global intent.

On the Agenda – 6 New Pillars
01 Forever Skilling
Tech leaps, green jobs, and longer lives mean constant upskilling and reskilling. This
pillar will take stock of what we have learnt about minimizing skills
mismatches: What are effective ways of encouraging a culture of lifelong learning
and what role do employers play? What impact is the use of digital technologies
having on employment and pay? Would focusing on skill-based hiring as opposed
to traditional credentials be more effective in the future labor market?
02 The Win-Win of a Mobile Workforce
Curbing brain drain and attracting talent fuels economies, but how do markets find
equilibrium? Smart policies can help identify and signal in-demand skills, generate
value for receiving and home markets alike. How can we better integrate job-
seekers where they are needed? A win-win awaits if we can’t solve this equation.
03 Youth in a Bind
Young workers face a tough start: market-skills mismatches lead to
underemployment, while fewer mid-management roles keep many in entry-level
positions, while the un-skilled risk getting trapped in the informal economy. How
can we bridge the gap between young workers’ aspirations and expectations, and
the reality of the labor market, to ensure they become productive, accomplished
professionals who contribute to the growth of the economy?
04 Productivity on the Mend. Maybe
Some markets are showing increased productivity rates, but it’s far from a
homogenous story around the world. WE discuss which drivers of productivity
(technology implementation, improved work conditions, organizational
restructuring, reskilling programs…) leveraged by productivity leaders can be rolled
out universally to create a more level field.
On the Agenda – 6 New Pillars
05 Growing Green Jobs for a Just Economy
Climate change disrupts jobs, from heat stress to industry shifts, resulting in
employment strains and job losses. At the same time, the transition to a
greener economy creates demand for new skills, which are often better paid
and lead to healthier jobs. This pillar considers how to ensure the green transition is
inclusive and equitable, offering meaningful and productive jobs. Can we improve
the supply of green skills through enhanced demand forecasting and training?
06 SMEs and New Work Models as Job Creators
Over 90% of businesses globally are SMEs and these represent approximately 50%
of all jobs. While they may not be able to match compensation packages offered by
larger companies, they do often offer flexibility, and in addition, tend to be agile,
have considerable innovation capacity and allow for faster career growth, which can
make them particularly attractive to young workers.
How can SMEs gain better support for growth, digital transformation and green
initiatives, to generate more meaningful and productive jobs?
